[QUOTE="Huntin1, post: 199532, member: 5730"] The salesmen at Cabelas have one job, sell you stuff so that they make commission. Over the years I've found that in most cases they know next to nothing about the product they are selling, and in some cases are downright dishonest in an attempt to get you to buy. A crossbow is most definitely easier to shoot well, but no skill or tweaking required is just not true. Any weapon is going to take some skill to use, and decidedly more skill to master. It is not easier to take a deer with a crossbow than it is with a vertical bow, in fact I found just the opposite. Buying a crossbow does not turn someone into an instant deer killer, you still need skill to get close enough to the animal and then pull off a killing shot. You still need to know how to read the wind, how to move, or be still, how to do all the other little things that go into taking a deer with archery equipment. Crossbows are not new, they've been around for centuries, but like anything else have benefited from modern materials. The are most definitely archery equipment and have just as much right to be used during the archery season as a compound bow. [/QUOTE]
